 The EPITAPH violates no confidence when it suggests that the mining develop ments shown in this camp at the presen, time are such as would warrant every man, woman and child in taking off his her or it's hat and giving one prolonged whoop. The showing is great, and nc mistake. But mum's the word.
 On Wednesday last there were eigh teen wagons loaded with ore at one min' alone in this camp. It took six sixteen mule teams Qhree wagons to team) tt haul the same. Each team hauled be tween fifteen and eighteen tons, ant hence there must have been about Io' tons shipped. We are on the eve of boom,

pei you to give them an order. This
neighborhood has been swindled
more than once by these itinerant
humbugs. Look out for them and
when they drive up to your gate
tell them to pass on! Every one of
you who has fruit tree or grape
vine should study it's nature and
requirements.
Get some good work on fruit cul-
ture and study it carefully. 1t will
tighten your labor and give pleasure
and profit besides. [ sincerely hope
that our to-days face to face talks
will bestir every one of us to greater
efforts to have a good orchard. Sup
pose every farmer in this community
was to renovate his old or set out
new orchards this Spring, what a
striking transformation would every
where be apparent!
All this can be done without any
very great outlay of money or very
serious loss of time from other work
if we would only make an earnest
effort. So mote it be.

tobacco we can raise it to some
advantage, provided we cultivate
thoroughly and give it the proper
attention, it must have attention
from the plant bed to the salesroom
Or it will not pay.
Seven years ago l began the cul-
ture Of tobacco. l commenced it on
small scale and find it pays the
best. | planted one acre for which
[ received one hundred and seventy
five dollars. Since that time / have
increased the number of acres and
bought more fertilizers, worked
harder and have never been able to
attain such results. l have never
sold crop of tobacco under 124
cents from that up to "a around,
and have made the most of my home
supplies Never bought but five
bushels Of corn in my life and yet
[ have made but very little clear
money. Every pound of tobacco
that [ have made cost me at least
10 cents per pound. My crop of
last year has cost me Is cents per
pound.
Let us all make less tobacco and
make it better and then we will be
able to obtain better prices, and turn
more of our time, labor and atten-
ton to grass and clover
A w. Bevel, the President, made
a lengthy and interesting talk on
the subject. He said there is loose
screw somewhere, when, in this
grass country, it is necessary TO
import hay for our stock, &c.
Samuel Alspaugh. l raised crop
of tobacco some years ago. [
planted six acres in tobacco and
sold it at the barn for $500. Since
that [ have made no money on
tobacco. / shall not raise any more
of it.
J. I. Craft | recollect some twelve
or fifteen years back there was in
our neighborhood no tobacco raised.
There was more corn, more hogs,
more bacon. Everything in the
way Of home comforts was more
plentiful than now. Since tobacco
has been SO. extensively raised, I
want to know how this is if tobacco
is such source of profit.

CEDAR GROVE CLUB.
FEBRUARY IL, 1873

EbhUAh1 IL, 1901.
The club met in called session.
The President in the chair.
Subject for discussion was: "How
to Make Tobacco Culture Profit
able"
T. F. Jones. First raise your own
supplies: corn, wheat, oats and grass
plenty for home consumption. Don't
depend on Western smoke houses
and corn cribs. Then spend your
time if any on tobacco.
Sow seed from first to middle of
February. Burn we'll and dig deep
two or two and half inches deep,
rake, remove roots, &C., SOW seed,
rake lightly and pack. | sometimes
use chemical fertilizer and some
times manure. | find manure from
hog pens to be the best for plant
beds. | find it to be difficult mat
ter to raise plants without covering
with cloth, besides plants may thus
be forwarded two or three weeks.
Close, fine, sandy soil for plants.
Coarse sandy nor cloggy soil will do.
| like to have plants ready to set
by middle of May. never set plants
without good season. | have found
tobacco to be failure on old land
without the use of either stable or
compost manure. I generally begin
to prepare my land early in Spring
by running burrows three feet apart
and spreading manure in furrow. l
then take one horse Dixie and
throw two burrows together over
manure. About the time | am ready
to set / throw two more burrows on
my ridge, which finishes the middle,
I then take a small bull tongue and
run in center Of ridge, being careful
to not run deep enough to disturb
manure. then drop an even table
spoonful of some standard brand of
chemical fertilizer about every three
feet in drill and make hill on ferti-
lizer q expect to use very little
fertilizer in future).
AS soon as plants begin to start
off, say in about two weeks after
setting, scrape down with hoe.
Always bear in mind tobacco and
grass never do we'll together. [
plow twice and sometimes three
times
Top from ten to twelve leaves on
medium ground, very rich soil will
bear more while thin not so many.
Be sure your tobacco is ripe when
you cut. l never crowd tobacco in
the barn. [ put from eighteen to
twenty-five sticks on an eighteen
foot tier. If tobacco is ripe, prefer
firing as soon as cut. Good ripe
tobacco is easily managed, while |
find if tobacco does not grow and
ripen right you can never get it
right in the barn. No rule can be
given for curing tobacco. The treat
ment that will suit one lot will ruin
another.
In curing as we'll as in culture,
common sense and practice are two
very important factors.
c. A. Phillips. To make the cul-
tivation of tobacco pay, the first
thing to be considered is the land,
if it is adapted to the growth of
